Zuccotti Park

Zuccotti Park is a 33,000-square foot public park in Lower Manhattan, New York City. The park was created in 1968 by US Steel, and it was originally named Liberty Plaza Park because it was situated beside One Liberty Plaza. The park was heavily damaged in the 9/11 attacks of 11 September 2001, and it was renovated in 2006 and renamed after Brookfield Office Properties owner John Eugene Zuccotti, who owned the renovated park. In 2011, the plaza became an "Occupy movement" protest camp.
